Description of book
Winter in South Dakota. Blowing snow, icy roads, a tired
driver. A bus skids and crashes and is stranded in a
gathering storm.
There's a small town twenty miles away, where a
vulnerable witness is guarded around the clock.
There's a strange stone building five miles further on,
all alone on the prairie. There's a ruthless man who
controls everything from the warmth of Mexico.
Jack Reacher hitched a ride in the back of the bus.
A life without baggage has many advantages.
And crucial disadvantages too, when it means facing
the arctic cold without a coat. But he's equipped for the
rest of his task. He doesn't want to put the world to
rights. He just doesn’t like people who put it to wrongs.
